    But, what if the small capsule rips open :P

  3. Re:Nightly benchmarking on Mozilla's New JavaScript Engine Coming September 1 · · Score: 1

    The page is hosted by Mozilla JS team, all they care about is JS performance and JS features.

  4. Re:lolwut? on OpenSolaris Governing Board Closing Shop? · · Score: 1

    Its like threatening to quit if they dont give you a pay rise. Often not a great move, but people do it all the time.

  5. Re:Recall? No way! on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 1

    Or a coupon for their $30 rubber case

  6. Re:Scary on Man Claims 84% of Facebook, Gets Order Blocking Assets · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Nope, that would be 87.5% of Facebock, besides not be part of Facebook at all.

    You know what politicians do when you ask them for help, especially when your primary source of income & political power is at stake, they RUN.

  12. Re:The only difference is... on Nokia Chases Blogger To Recover N8 Prototype · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Really? Does any other phone have a better API & App dist system than N900? Boring and difficultly are subjective though, I consider N900 much more interesting and easier to use (atleast easy to customize it to my use) than other major smartphones. Maybe thats just me.

  13. Re:First Post !! on Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good, finding the winner is always bad. A continuous search for the winner is always in the interest of the user.

  15. Re:In related news: Not much hope of making it sto on Oil Means More Arsenic In Seawater · · Score: 4, Funny

    Khyber is troll... See his other posts...
    1) His father designed the Harpoon radar guidance system
    2) He worked at HP repair line right next to Dell help line
    3) He has immense knowledge about pH and chemistry
    4) and what do we have here... He has worked on oil platforms and his solution is
    i) relief wells... mmm why didnt BP think of this... not wait... they started working on two relief wells long long ago and they have been trying (or pretending to do something in the meanwhile) to temporary stop the flow till the relief wells are operational.
    ii) C-4s, ahh how innovative. When the GP talked about nuking it, did you somehow think it is the radiation from the nuke that would stop the leak? The GP effectively meant blow it up (he said with nukes, and you say with C-4s). And I would leave it as excersie to the reader, whether nuking it easier or C-4s are easier at this depth. PS: before someone flames me, I am neither in favor nor in opposition to blowing it up

  16. Re:Save the Gulf: Send the Enterprise on Oil Means More Arsenic In Seawater · · Score: 1

    LOL, you could refer wikipedia for more information and the current (publicly available) plans.

    Anyway, my point was "nido" could never be sure that Enterprise is just idling and has no current military objectives/tasks. If you have any "real connections" that support/contradict his view, please feel free to post here. (I, personally, seriously doubt such a capable warship is idling). Otherwise STFU.

    The Enterprise isn't doing anything right now

    [citation needed]. Unless you have internal sources, you would never know what exactly Enterprise is tasked for (or for what reason it was constructed at all, for the matter)

    Or they would have to pass a law to extend the number of laws permitted on the books.

  20. Re:Unhappy campers - Please take Apple's advice. on Apple To Issue a 'Fix' For iPhone 4 Reception Perception · · Score: 1

    The problem is Apple is not truthful about whether the problem exists and to what extent it would affect me. I dont want to be realizing the issues after the 30-day refund period expires.

    In short, I dont have problems right now, but I am not certain that I wont have problems in the future.

  21. Re:Human brain != computer on Scaling To a Million Cores and Beyond · · Score: 1

    I would say Brain = Computer; only the Input Output ports/devices are different. Say your task is to find a picture of Megan Fox among a bundle of photos, you could use a brain (along with necessary I/O devices of course) to perform this task. You need to input these photos (along with a few marked snaps of Fox, if the brain does not already know her), through the eyes attached to it and you could ask the brain to output the result using the mouth attached to it.
